My work has spent the last 6 months or so renovating our office and rented out extra space in our building because we had really outgrown our existing space. The week it finally finished and they go to move people around, one of the guys in the CAD department quits because a competitor offered full-time work from home. Upper management then panics and offers WFH for the whole CAD department of about 20 people, and 17 of them take the offer. So now we have this big new space that is sitting empty. It’s kind of funny.

It was odd because a lot of people were doing hybrid, and a couple people were even full time working remotely, but if you lived locally then they wanted you in the office at least three times a week. Until now I guess.

The assistant restaurant manager is sort of my point of contact with upper management and helps me understand certain things in more direct terms. But also sometimes he has these really awful ideas. A few months ago he brought up the idea of using maca or Peruvian ginseng in a beer because I guess it's some sort of all natural male enhancement herb and he thought that'd be interesting. I asked what would make it interesting and he just basically said it could help guys get boners (probably not because it's herbal remedy poo poo) and that's "interesting". I dropped it and he brought it up again yesterday as we were having beers at a place that got a keg of our stuff recently. I grew up taking a lot of herbal remedies and being unable to swallow pills had to just sorta eat them. They taste loving awful. If you want to add some random adjunct I need a more compelling reason than it being "interesting", especially if it doesn't taste pleasant on it's own. Fortunately, this guy doesn't have any pull in deciding what I make and if it's floated I'm gonna shoot it down ASAP. Boner Beer. WTF?

Isinglass reminds me of The Food Babe's article about beer, and while it's not as dumb as her article about flying, it is very loving dumb. Edit: She encouraged people to get German beers if they couldn't research a place because she claimed German purity laws meant no additives, which got a lol from me. Edit 2: The number of breweries that use isinglass (a fining agent derived from dried fish swim bladders) is pretty low. Guinness is pretty much the only one. I think they use some ridiculously high percentage of the world's supply, I think like 90%, but in her article she made it seem like it was super common. Most places use Irish moss or carrageenan (derived from seaweed), if they use kettle finings at all, or gelatin as a tank fining.

Okay, we have a lot of computer touchers who are at least IT adjacent here, so maybe someone can explain a small bit of "the poo poo I have to clean up now after a new IT guy came by to fix a small problem and accidentally broke everything on my work computer": What is the logic of not allowing users to change their own passwords, requiring an IT ticket (which can only be sent from addresses that require that password to get into, btw) to have it changed... At which point the new one is sent to the user as plain text?

And encryption costs more.

But still user's put in tickets for those same things. Earlier in the week, I had a nice threeway fight with a user and their manager trying to explain that no, I will not replace the battery on her out of warranty PC when she has a replacement that she received in May. And also that no, the new PC does not need to be 'reimaged' because it doesn't have your applications installed, that's how it comes you have to install what you need yourself. This is what happens when you decide to circumvent the normal "My PC is broken" process and just order a new one through procurement.

Most people just call it a Colaweizen now. I mean, it's gross and it shouldn't exist anyways, but if you're a gross person who insists on ruining a good heff by dumping loving coke in it, there's a way to ask for someone to do that without saying something that makes you sound like you're in 1930s Germany. edit: and a light beer + lemonade is a Radler.

Apfelschorle is basically half and half apple juice and carbonated mineral water, and then you half-and-half that with white wine and it is INCREDIBLY refreshing while still putting enough alcohol in you that you'll catch a buzz after a couple pints.
